tenants complain of paranormal activity

[Amy Mueller]

Two days before rent was due my tenant asked if I had been at their house the night before because the garage door was up and the light upstairs was off that they usually leave on.  I had not and suggested that the garage door sensor may have seen something and went back up.  I was over the next day to fix something and she was talking about this again and I said well I can change the locks.  She said well we don't think it's that and continued telling me about hearing foot steps and a candle falling off the back of the toilet into the garbage can etc etc.  And asked if I knew the history of the house.   I told her I knew the house was a foreclosure and the lady who owned it had been a nurse.  She said they were having someone her mom knows come out Sunday to I guess get a reading on the house?  And invited me to come.  I did not. 

Today, rent is now 3 days late, and she texts me wanting to meet up to talk to me about what they found out about the house.

I told her I was not available but she could call or text me.

She responded, " well it's a lot really, if you have any spare time where we can meet up with you asap that would be great.

I have a feeling they are trying to get out of their lease which just started in Dec.  Any advice or suggestions on how to handle this?

Any “ghosts” that stay longer than 14 days should be added to the lease and required to pay a security deposit imho
